On other days this week, high school students arrived for class in bad hair and pajamas, cowboy attire, clashing clothing and school colors as part of the festivities surrounding the Homecoming game on Friday, Oct. 8. Mentor program now at TMMS by SUSAN VITTITOW Record staff writer The Treasure Mountain Middle School Parent-Teacher organization has plans to expand its tutoring program to include mentoring this year. PTO member Marilyn Heinrich is organizing the program.'What we're trying to do is get a talent bank together," she explains. The idea is to match students who have, . 'a particular .talent or interest with . 'adults , with a related career, or , hobby. For example, a student who is mechanically inclined might take apart and rebuild a television set with the help of an adult who knows how to do that. The tutoring program was already in place last year, Heinrich explains, to help children who might otherwise fall through the cracks. Although the school has special education programs, they sometimes do not kick in quickly enough for every student having difficulty. This year, the PTO wanted to add an enrichment program for students who could benefit from concentration in a particular area. For example, she has known of fifth or sixth graders that enjoy writing poetry. However, there are no classes dealing specifically with poetry at that grade leveL A mentor can fill that gap. ' ..-...' Heinrich volunteered as a language arts mentor in Maine. 1 had a lot of fun with the kids I worked with," she says. Heinrich welcomes mentors of all ages from high school students to retirees, in all fields. She also points out that scheduling can be very flexible to accommodate the needs of both mentors and students. "The possibilities are endless," she says. "TMMS students already have a chess club, she explains, and they are beginning to start book clubs. She sees a possibility for a math club and other clubs depending on student interest Students at TMMS all have at least an hour after school before the late bus leaves to have these types of activities. With the split schedule, some have closer to two hours. - Heinrich also says she would be glad to share her talent bank with other schools in the district, but is uncertain if anyone is coordinating a mentor program outside of TMMS.
